During a recent Twitter Q&A with fans, PLL showrunner Marlene King was asked what fans can expect from Emily and Alison in the upcoming summer finale. Her answer, though only two words, is worth a second look:

As with all PLL teases, this could mean something big… or absolutely nothing at all. But in the interest of “something big,” let’s think about what could be coming up for “Emison”:

It could be something good, like a long-overdue conversation about the pair’s feelings for one another, or it could be something not-so-good, like Alison confessing to murdering Charlotte. (Because nothing says “Let’s pump the brakes on this” quite like finding out your friend-with-benefits is a killer.)
